JEDI Experts is set of experts/wizards to be used in Delphi IDE. While they can be used directly in Delphi IDE, the main task will be convert them, and merge into GExperts – another Delphi project on SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gexperts

It also links to a more descriptive page which unfortunately still doesn’t say much about the actual functionality.

I got curious, downloaded the sources and tried to compile them. It was quite difficult because it requires the JCL/JVCL and many of the components it used are have been deprecated. I ended up converting the dfm files to text (Yes, it is that old.) and replacing these components in a text editor.

JEDI experts consists of a DLL and a package, the latter is apparently supposed to load the DLL into the IDE. I got the DLL to compile but eventually gave up on the package. It references the deprecated ToolsAPI units from the Delphi 5 days and after deleting/replacing lots of ifdefs to get it to even compile in Delphi 2007 I gave up.

But I didn’t want to let those hours of work I already put into it got to waste. So I have put the sources into the GExperts repository, adding a new branch for it:
